#kdtree and ball trees seem cool, but require full knowledge of the thing I'm searching for. What if it's 7 dimensional and I only know 4 of the values?
I feel like a "parallel kd tree" with a separate binary index on each dimension would work better here.
Reduce depth. Allow unspecified values. It'd also be a snap to create and search each dim in parallel.
I paid for a subscription. And they are now effectively blocking #Firefox, at least on #Linux. Every fetch requires me to "verify I'm a human" so none of the images or #javascript load. It works in #chromium (for now...?)
It's really incredible (and I mean very predictable, but still nice to see) how the economic sanctions against #Putin are showing up as #GOP funding problems at every level. The #NRA, state parties, etc.
If we can just freeze out the #fascists for a few years, we might recover and even gain ground.

I LOVE this ramification of Ukraine kicking those GQP infiltrating Russian bastards' butts. Stay out of our elections you fucks. I think we should help Russia with its opposition candidate this time. Why not? They should have no problem with it.
Reverse angle shows that the lightpole has to be the camera. Those exist nowadays, but except for a paintjob this light has been here since at least 2007.
There are vidcaps there that aren't from videos posted. Also videos in some early reporting that aren't on the page
Anyway, the next task was figuring out how tall the bomber is. The obvs place to start is the trashcan, but nope. Too many trashcans look exactly like that except for scale #baby#osint
First stab was via the scooter in the DNC video that the #j6#bomber walks right next to. In 2021, there were only a few companies providing scooters and this one looks a lot like one of them that has a known height. I got 5'9"
Second stab was from a video the #fbi didn't post but #WaPo did in early reporting. Bomber walks close to a car of known height. I got 5'9" again
It's worth noting that as much as I don't like her, popular suspect #MTG is easily in the clear. She is 5'3".
I came across a meme that showed someone putting oats into a greasy pan to dispose of the grease and then feed #birds.
Since the kids have moved out, we don't go through enough jars to put meat fat into (the drain is out of the question). Win win!
Trying to confirm, google was only giving me #AI garbage, but I found a pretty trustworthy link that specifically called out grease, rendered fat, seeds and oats.

I mix cereal and bread scraps with bacon grease all the time. We feed the crows chicken bones, any meat scraps, fish, fat, french fries and they love it. Crows won't eat stuff like asparagus, broccoli, celery, etc. Those things we compost. The only things that go in the garbage are non-recyclable plastic and packaging, medicine bottles and so forth. Coffee filters and coffee grounds both compost very nicely. We produce very little garbage for the garbage trucks. 8^)
I thought I knew that #UK calls lemonade "lemon squash".
However, the #OffMenu#food#podcast has referred at various times (sometimes in a single episode) to "squash" (as a drink), "lemonade", "juice" and "orange juice". So now I don't know what to believe.
@davidr From my British experience; "squash" is a fruit concentrate that you then dilute yourself at home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_%28drink%29 , for many British people I think that is a standard, everyday drink, that might also be casually referred to as "juice" - even if I'd probably only use that for direct from fruit juice.
I have literally one step left on my #python#pyqtgraph "measurement distance #simulator" #data vis project and I'm suddenly like...ugh, can I even go on
Meanwhile, I woke up at literally 2am with an idea for a scheduling algorithm based around a spring network #physics model that I'm excited to try instead
(Obviously neither of these gets the trash emptied, the kitchen organized, the TV movie folder fixed or the plumber called)
